    Hey Ash, can you expand on how you would use this? I’d like to understand the use case and I’ll definitely consider it.

    Hi Jean,

    In my blog I have several authors, each author also has another blog elsewhere, I would like to merge RSS feeds from their external blogs using WP-RSS-Aggregator, since each feed, technically corresponds to an author (WP account), i want to be able to link their names to their blog profiles along with other relevant data.

    I understand that 90% of people using this plugin may not have this setup since it’s obviously requires a custom template/setup, but being able to control the template itself would allow be not to tamper with the wp-rss-aggregator code itself to render the desired output.

    Having a template, I can setup something like 

    {feed_data}
%author_avatar% <a href="https://mywebsite/author/{feed_name}">{feed_name}</a>

    In other words, having templates, gives full flexibility to the user.

    Cheers!

    Hi Ash,

    This is an idea I’ve been toying with for some time, hopefully templates based on such tags will be one of the next add-ons we will develop.

    Here is what I had looked at:
